Master project ( protien intake and bone lose) in elderly - PowerPoint Presentation Example of studies have documented several advantages of protein intake in elderly, on the other hand, a huge number of studies have found protein intake as disadvantageous for older people. The present study intends to make a huge contribution to the ongoing studies on the relationship between bone loss in elderly and protein intake not only by conducting a close investigation of the relationship between protein intake and bone health among older people, but also by investigating into the issues of the effects of dietary components which acts as supplement to protein, type of protein as well as of lifestyle of the elderly. (Weikert et al. 2005) All these literatures have been reviewed for extensive information on protein intake, its advantages and disadvantages. Selective articles and sources have been collected to throw adequate light on this issue The principal aim of the present research is to examine the relationship between protein intake and risks of bone loss in elderly, hence the present research tries to answer the question whether protein intake affects bone health of older people. It is very often presumed that no matter what is the level of protein intake, if a old person follow an exercise routine regularly then his/her bone health will get improved. So it will be quite interesting to find out whether regular exercise is alone effective in reducing bone loss in elderly, or it is protein intake which is essential for preventing bone loss during older ages. So to check the effectiveness of protein intake on bone health a null hypothesis that regular exercise can alone be effective in reducing bone loss in elderly can be tested. If this hypothesis is rejected on the basis of the results obtained then it can be said that protein intake plays a significant role in reducing bone loss. The main problem associated with gathering information regarding these variables is that appropriate secondary data is not readily available for these variables. Hence primary
